| 🪵 Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair |
From $650 |
In San Diego, dry rot hides behind cracking stucco long before anyone sees it. We cut out the decayed framing, siding and trim, treat what stays, and rebuild in rot-resistant lumber. Exposed coastal walls in Ocean Beach and Point Loma get heavier stock than an inland Rancho Bernardo tract home. |
| 🐜 Termite Damage Repair |
From $1,200 |
After the exterminator leaves, the damaged wood is still holding the house up. We work from your pest inspection report to replace damaged studs, sills, trim and subfloor sections. Frost-free winters let drywood colonies spread year round here, so we probe well past the visible galleries before closing a wall. |
| 🔩 Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair |
From $1,800 |
Soft or bouncy floors usually start under a San Diego home's raised floor. We sister or replace compromised joists, rebuild subfloor sections and reset piers, then level before finishes go back down. Crawl spaces on canyon lots get their drainage looked at while we are under there. |
| 🏗️ Beam Replacement & Load-Bearing Wall Removal |
From $3,500 |
Opening up a floor plan is structural carpentry, not demolition work. We set engineered beams, replace sagging headers and remove load-bearing walls to the engineer's specification and the city permit, carrying new posts down to a real footing rather than stopping at the subfloor. |
| 📐 Framing & Structural Carpentry |
From $2,500 |
Remodel framing is the part nobody sees and the part every finish depends on. New interior walls, garage and canyon-lot build-outs, wall openings, and repairs to fire or water damaged framing, all straight, plumb and inspected. Shear panels on stucco-over-frame walls go back the way they came off. |
| 🪚 Finish & Trim Carpentry |
From $550 |
Tight miters, scribed fits and consistent reveals are what finish work is. We run casing, paneling, wainscoting and custom trim in San Diego homes of every era, scribing to the rounded plaster reveals of a Mission-style room instead of forcing a square edge onto it. |
| 👑 Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation |
From $450 |
Crown, baseboard, chair rail and window trim, coped rather than mitered. We match the profiles already running through a Kensington or South Park bungalow, or keep the lines crisp in a Clairemont mid-century, with caulk joints that stay closed on wavy plaster ceilings. |
| 📚 Custom Built-Ins & Shelving |
From $1,900 |
Built-ins earn their space when they are cut to the room, not bought to fit. Bookshelves, window seats, media walls, closet systems and Murphy beds, fitted to the arched openings, stepped ceilings and shallow alcoves that come with Spanish Colonial Revival floor plans. |
| 🚪 Interior Door Installation & Repair |
From $350 |
A door that sticks or drifts open is usually telling you about its frame. We hang, adjust and replace interior doors, repair jambs, rebuild openings that have gone out of square, and fit pocket and barn doors. In San Diego that movement is often drywood termite damage in the jamb rather than settlement. |
| 🔐 Exterior & Entry Door Installation |
From $850 |
An entry door near the coast fails at its threshold and its flashing first. We install entry, back and French doors weather-tight against wind-driven rain and marine-layer damp, with corrosion-resistant hardware in the beach communities. Rotted frames and thresholds are repaired or the full unit replaced. |
| 🗄️ Cabinet & Vanity Installation |
From $1,100 |
Cabinets are only ever as good as the floor and the wall they are set against. We level kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and laundry storage across out-of-level raised floors, scribe to out-of-square stucco-over-frame walls, then align the hardware and adjust every door. |
| 🪜 Stair & Railing Repair |
From $600 |
A squeaking tread and a loose newel post are a joint problem, not a surface one. We repair and rebuild staircases, reseat newels and balusters, restore period railings and fit graspable handrails to current code. Split stringers in canyon-lot split-levels get sistered rather than skinned over. |
| 🌉 Deck & Porch Repair |
From $900 |
Salt air and marine-layer damp are harder on a deck here than the rainfall is. We replace rotted boards, posts and railings, repair stairs and the framing underneath, and use stainless fixings on exposed coastal decks. We repair first, and say plainly when replacement is the honest answer. |
| 🏠 Fascia, Soffit & Exterior Trim Repair |
From $700 |
Peeling paint on a fascia board is the first visible sign of the rot behind it. We replace fascia, soffits and exterior trim in primed rot-resistant stock, reopen blocked soffit vents, and close the gaps that let moisture and drywood termites into the roofline behind a tile course. |
